You

Kerry Lown Whalen

Not interested. Definitely not my type. At fourteen, handsome turned me on. Give me outgoing guys with olive skin and white teeth.

I didn’t appreciate your potential. Your charm. Saw only light hair, blue eyes. Your blandness.

No one told me you played rugby. Captained the schoolboy team. Represented Australia. Later I read the newspaper headline: SCHOOLBOY STAR, A GIFT TO THE GAME.

You stared across the room. Didn’t speak. Piqued my interest. I smiled. You didn’t. Intrigued, I approached. Your eyes smouldered. I studied your lips. Your face. I shook my head.

You reached for my hand. Walked me home. Held me close. Inclined your head. I felt your lips. Soft. Moist. Gentle. Barely moving. My head whirled. Heart soared. Legs shook. My world tilted.

Who taught you how to kiss? Someone must have shown you.

Half a lifetime later, I think of those kisses. And you.
